2025 Drinking Water Sampling Program (Lead & Copper)
- Details
- Published: Tuesday, 29 April 2025 11:00
Trenton Water Utility is seeking participants for our annual drinking water sampling program for lead & copper. Participation is free and will provide you with information on lead and copper levels in your tap water. In addition, it will allow us to assess our facility’s compliance with Health Canada’s latest drinking water guidelines for lead and copper. Samples for lead and copper must be collected within homes and buildings where customers obtain water for drinking and cooking (e.g. kitchen or bathroom faucets).
Although lead and copper can occur naturally in the environment, their main source in drinking water is through leaching of plumbing materials such as pipes, solder, faucets, and fittings. While copper is an acceptable material for use in plumbing, lead is not. The National Plumbing Code (NPC) allowed lead material in pipes until 1975, lead in solder until 1986 and lead in fittings/faucets until 2013.
Once testing is complete, you will receive a letter with your test results and explanation of what they mean. In addition, if your lead or copper levels exceed Health Canada’s guidelines, we will provide information on how to reduce your exposure.
To participate, please contact Robert MacLean, Water Utility Manager before Friday, May 31, 2024:
